    CX-9 Owner Drives New CX-90 For A Week - My Review

    Thanks for being honest. Sometimes we got lost with something new and shiny then overlook some of the essential things we are used to. I also drove a CX-90 and it just wasn't what I thought it would be for a $60,000 SUV. The engine is so underpowered, like very sluggish. Although the...

    New battery at 45,000 miles? 2020 CX-9

    Here in South Florida if you get 4 years out of a battery it's a miracle. Has nothing to do with the miles, it's all about time. Heat cycles are brutal. 72% of batteries in the USA are made by Johnson Controls. Lots of different stickers, Die Hard, Duralast, Walmart, etc. but they are...

    "Vehicle Communication Network Malfunction" message on MyMazda

    Apparently this is a thing. I do not get this message in the vehicle, I only get this on the MyMazda app every day. Vehicle: 2023 CX-9 Signature but it's not a model specific message. The internet says to disconnect the battery for a while. I have everything setup the way I like it (seats...

    Steering Wheel Leather Cracking Solutions

    I had my wife sew on a $25 leather one from eBay. Came out great but now I've worn that out. I have a 2015 but it's the same process. We didn't take the wheel off, took her about an hour.

    Fog light install 2016 CX-9 Touring

    Was backing my truck out of the garage and decided to take some pics of the new LED fog lights off and on. I was actually surprised how you could see the difference in a picture. Trust me when I say it's much brighter than this but you all get the idea. This was the point I was making above...

    Fog light install 2016 CX-9 Touring

    I am measuring the brightness that my fog lights are producing by color that actually fills in the gap to the dark-colored HID headlights. Not only that the field of vision is now farther and whiter than the stock Halogen. The OEM Halogens were basically for show, they did absolutely nothing...

    Fog light install 2016 CX-9 Touring

    Actually no, the kit I linked in the post is not for my generation, it's for the 2016 & 2017 vehicles. Was just making a point that there are 6000K and even 8000K led fog light replacement bulbs (with built-in fans) that will double, even triple the stock output. Just don't skimp. Was showing...

    Leather Care

    Have some knowledge in this area as I've owned leather in cars since my Dad's 1981 Delorean and Mom's Caddy's. I did the unthinkable and bought sand-colored leather seats. What a nightmare, the color transfer from clothes is very noticeable. I take a bucket of water, a couple of drops of Dawn...

    Fog light install 2016 CX-9 Touring

    The OEM fog kit from Mazda I don't think requires a new steering column stock. Amazon sells the kit for $300, eBay has them for $280. Here is the Amazon link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KL0HW7W/?tag=m20b7-20 I have a 2015 and the LED fog lights are brighter than my HID headlights so these...
